Jaime Lozano

Jaime Lozano is a musical theatre composer heralded as the “next big thing” on Broadway by Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda. A native of Monterrey, Mexico, Jaime earned his BFA in Music and Composition from the School of Music at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León and was the recipient of a full scholarship to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he has the distinction of being the first Mexican to be accepted to and earn an MFA from the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. Jaime is one of five artists selected for the 2020 Joe’s Pub Working Group residency.

A prolific composer, Jaime’s works have been produced at venues such as the Minsko Theatre, Lucille Lortel Theatre, The Pearl Theatre, The Players Theatre, Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, Goodspeed Opera House, and The Juilliard School of Music. Jaime’s works include The Yellow Brick Road, which premiered in 2011 to critical acclaim highlighting “its accessible melodies and robust harmonies” (New York Times). That production was followed by a successful national tour. Jaime’s musical Children of Salt: A New Latin Musical made its New York City debut as part of the New York Musical Festival 2016, where it won the “Best of Fest” production award. Jaime also co-wrote the one-act musical Lightning Strikes Twice, which premiered at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre in 2010.

Jaime has also dabbled in film scoring, most notably having written the score for the short film Os by Jesús Alarcón. In 2015, Jaime and his wife, Mexican actress and singer Florencia Cuenca, created a jazz project called The New Standards. Jaime is also an accomplished director, staging Into The Woods (2015), Jesus Christ Superstar (1999, 2001, 2005), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (2003, 2012), and The Fantasticks (2000) in Mexico. In August 2003, Jaime directed the Mexican premiere of Jekyll & Hyde. Jaime is also known as an arranger, music director, and orchestrator.

As a singing teacher and vocal coach, Jaime has worked with some of the most important musical theatre performers in Latin America and the United States. He teaches workshops and master classes all around the world.
